R.I.P. Musical Instruments
One more is gone... Last month I went to Berlin to find out that Just Music had closed:
"Just Music: Instrumenten-Kaufhaus am Moritzplatz muss endgültig schließen
Letztes Speeddating mit Les Paul und Stratocaster: Bei Just Music am Berliner Moritzplatz wurde über Jahre das „Erlebnis Instrumentenkauf“ zelebriert. Doch Ende März ist Schluss. " - Berliner Zeitung - https://lnkd.in/ek7CCuJN
Now Sam Ash says goodbye in the USA:
"Sam Ash is officially shutting down its stores – closing sales begins today
“Thank you for allowing us to serve musicians like you for 100 years."
Following recent reports and rumours, US musical instrument retailer Sam Ash has officially announced that it’s shutting down its stores, with store-closing sales commencing effective immediately.
The company shared the news via their social media accounts today (2 May), stating: “It is with a heavy heart that we announce that all Sam Ash Music store locations will begin store closing sales today.”” - Guitar . com - https://lnkd.in/eHKxqSbC
If you've been to London, you saw what they are doing to Denmark Street.
Very soon, the only place you'll be able to find a musical instrument will be in a Museum.
